Iodine contrast volume reduction in preoperative transcatheter aortic valve implantation computed tomography: Comparison with 64- and 256-multidetector row computed tomography. Radiography (Lond) 2024; 30:408-415. [PMID: 38176131 DOI: 10.1016/j.radi.2023.12.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the vascular enhancement and radiation dose in preoperative transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) computed tomography (CT) with a reduced contrast medium (CM) using volume scans in 256-multidetector row CT (MDCT) with a standard CM using 64-MDCT. METHODS This study included 78 patients with preoperative TAVI CT with either 64- or 256-MDCT. The CM was injected at 1.5 mL/kg in the 64-MDCT group and 1.0 mL/kg in the 256-MDCT group. We compared vascular enhancement of the aortic root and access routes, image quality (IQ) scores, and radiation dose in both groups. RESULTS Despite the reduced CM (by 33 %) in the 256-MDCT group, the mean vascular enhancement of the right and left subclavian arteries was significantly higher than that in the 64-MDCT group [284 and 267 Hounsfield units (HU) vs. 376 and 359 HU; p < 0.05]; however, no significant differences in the mean vascular enhancement in the ascending aorta, abdominal aorta at the celiac level, and bilateral common femoral arteries were observed between the two groups (p > 0.05 for all). The median IQ scores at the aortic root were higher in the 256-MDCT group than in the 64-MDCT group (3 vs. 4; p < 0.05), and those at the femoral access routes were comparable (4 vs. 4; p = 0.33). The mean effective dose was significantly reduced by 30 % in the 256-MDCT group (23.6 vs. 16.3 mSv; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In preoperative TAVI CT, volume scans using 256-MDCT provide comparable or better vascular enhancement and IQ with a 30 % reduction in CM and radiation dose than those using 64-MDCT. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Volume scan using 256-MDCT for preoperative TAVI CT may reduce CM and radiation dose in TAVI patients with renal dysfunction.

Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) is used in a wide range of medical imaging diagnoses. However, the reconstruction of CT images from raw projection data is inherently complex and is subject to artifacts and noise, which compromises image quality and accuracy. In order to address these challenges, deep learning developments have the potential to improve the reconstruction of computed tomography images. In this regard, our research aim is to determine the techniques that are used for 3D deep learning in CT reconstruction and to identify the training and validation datasets that are accessible. This research was performed on five databases. After a careful assessment of each record based on the objective and scope of the study, we selected 60 research articles for this review. This systematic literature review revealed that convolutional neural networks (CNNs), 3D convolutional neural networks (3D CNNs), and deep learning reconstruction (DLR) were the most suitable deep learning algorithms for CT reconstruction. Additionally, two major datasets appropriate for training and developing deep learning systems were identified: 2016 NIH-AAPM-Mayo and MSCT. These datasets are important resources for the creation and assessment of CT reconstruction models. According to the results, 3D deep learning may increase the effectiveness of CT image reconstruction, boost image quality, and lower radiation exposure. By using these deep learning approaches, CT image reconstruction may be made more precise and effective, improving patient outcomes, diagnostic accuracy, and healthcare system productivity.

J Cardiothorac Surg 2022; 17:187. [PMID: 35986292 PMCID: PMC9389808 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-022-01937-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Whether it is possible to perform morphological evaluation of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was examined by evaluating the relationships between the parameters measured on contrast-enhanced CT and TR severity on transthoracic echocardiography. Methods Fifty patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT. Tricuspid annulus area (TAA), tricuspid annulus circumference (TAC), right ventricular volume (RVV), and the distances between the tips and bases of the papillary muscles were measured on contrast-enhanced CT in diastole and systole. The 50 cases were divided into 34 in the TR ≤ mild group (no TR: 3 cases, trivial TR: 24 cases, mild TR: 7 cases), and 16 in the TR ≥ moderate group (moderate TR: 8 cases, severe TR: 8 cases) using the TR grade measured by transthoracic echocardiography, and then differences between the groups were examined. Results Significant differences were found in TAA, TAC, and RVV (p < 0.01) and the distances between the tips of the anterior and posterior papillary muscles (p < 0.05) in both diastole and systole. Since the septal papillary muscle could not be identified in 18 cases (36.0%), only the distance between the anterior and posterior papillary muscles was measurable in all cases. On receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the areas under the ROC curves (AUCs) of TAA, TAC, and RVV were all > 0.7, and the maximum AUC was 0.925 for dRVV. Conclusions TAA, TAC, RVV, and the distance between the tips of the anterior and posterior papillary muscles measured on contrast-enhanced CT were shown to be significantly increased in the TR ≥ moderate group. Detailed morphological assessment of FTR is possible by contrast-enhanced CT.

Abstract
This work was aimed to explore the role of CT angiography information provided by deep learning algorithm in the diagnosis and complications of the disease focusing on congenital aortic valve disease and severe aortic valve stenosis. 120 patients who underwent ultrasound cardiography for aortic stenosis and underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in hospital were selected as the research objects. Patients received CT examination of deep learning algorithm within one week. The measurement methods were long and short diameter method, area method, and perimeter method. The deep learning algorithm was used to measure the long and short diameter, area, and perimeter of the target area before CT image processing. The results showed that the average diameter of long and short diameter measurement was 95% CI (0.84, 0.92), the average diameter of perimeter measurement was 95% CI (0.68, 0.87), and the average diameter of area measurement was 95% CI (0.72, 0.91). Among the 52 patients, 35 cases were hypertension (67%), 13 cases were diabetes (25%), 6 cases were chronic renal insufficiency (Cr > 2 mg/dL) (11%) (2 cases were treated with hemodialysis, 3.8%), 11 patients had chronic pulmonary disease (21%), 9 patients had cerebrovascular disease (17.3%) and atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. Deep learning can achieve excellent results in CT image processing, and it was of great significance for the diagnosis of TAVI patients, improving the success rate of treatment and the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Minute clear cell renal cell carcinoma (MccRCC) has a diameter of <1.5 cm and can be diagnosed using multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT). Recently, the role of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the development of MccRCC has attracted attention. This study aimed to further explore the relationship between the NLR and MccRCC.This was a prospective study of 100 patients who were diagnosed with MccRCC using MSCT at Urumqi Friendship Hospital, China. The study investigated a series of pretreatment factors, including NLR and patients' general clinical data. Statistical methods employed included Pearson's chi-square test, Spearman-rho correlation test, Cox regression analysis, and receiver operator characteristic curve analysis.Based on Pearson's χ2, Spearman-rho test, and univariate/multivariate Cox regression analysis, the overall survival of patients with MccRCC was shown to be significantly related to NLR (P < .001). NLR (hazard ratio = 50.676, 95%CI, 17.543-146.390, P < .001) is a significant independent risk-factor for MccRCC. A receiver operator characteristic curve was plotted to examine specificity and sensitivity between NLR and MccRCC (area under curve = 0.958, P < .001).The level of the NLR plays a crucial role in the survival of patients with MccRCC, as diagnosed with MSCT. The higher the NLR, the worse the prognosis for patients with MccRCC.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established method for treating patients with aortic valve stenosis. We sought to determine the long-term clinical outcomes and performance of a self-expanding bioprosthesis beyond 5 years. Consecutive patients scheduled for TAVI were included in the analysis. Primary end points were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, structural valve deterioration (SVD) and bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF), based on the VARC-2 criteria and consensus statement by ESC/EAPCI. The study prospectively evaluated 273 patients (80.61 ± 7.00 years old, 47% females) who underwent TAVI with CoreValve/Evolut-R (Medtronic Inc.). The median follow-up duration was 5 years (interquartile range: 2.9 to 6; longest: 8 years). At 1, 5, and 8 years, estimated survival rates were 89.0%, 61.1%, and 56.0%, respectively, while cardiovascular mortality was 8% at the end of follow-up. Regarding valve performance, 5% of patients had early BVF and 1% had late BVF. Concerning SVD, 16 patients (6% of the total population) had moderate SVD (91% had an increase in mean gradient), with no severe SVD cases. Five patients with SVD died during follow-up. Actual analysis of the 8-year cumulative incidence of function of moderate SVD was 5.9% (2.5% to 16.2%). At multivariate analysis, the factor that emerged as an independent predictor for future SVD, was smaller bioprosthetic valve size (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.41 to 0.82, p = 0.002). Long-term evaluation beyond 5 years after TAVI with a self-expanding bioprosthesis demonstrated low rates of cardiovascular mortality and structural valve deterioration. Valve size was an independent predictor for SVD.

Repeated transcatheter aortic valve implantation for the treatment of a degenerated transcatheter aortic valve implantation valve (valve-in-valve technique): a case report.

Abstract
Background Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a competent alternative for the treatment of degenerated bioprosthetic valves after surgical aortic valve replacement, or during TAVI procedure as a bailout option. Herein, we report a rare case of a self-expandable Medtronic Evolut R valve into a failing Medtronic CoreValve, with the use of modern pre-TAVI imaging screening, suggesting the proper procedural design steps for so complicated implantations. Case summary A frail 78-year-old woman with a degenerated Medtronic Core Valve 26 mm bioprosthesis, implanted in 2011 due to severe aortic stenosis, was referred to our hospital due to worsening dyspnoea New York Heart Association III. The screening echocardiography documented severe aortic stenosis, while the classical risk scores were in favour of repeated TAVI (EuroSCORE II 5.67%). Computed tomography measurements and three-dimensional (3D) printing model were of great help for the proper valve selection (Medtronic Evolut R 26 mm), while the use of cerebral protection device (Claret Sentinel) was considered as a necessary part of the procedure. The simultaneous use of fluoroscopy and transoesophageal echocardiogram led to optimal haemodynamic result, confirmed by the discharge echocardiogram, with a significant clinical improvement during the first month follow-up. Discussion The main periprocedural concerns remain valve malpositioning, coronary artery obstruction, and high remaining transvalvular gradients. The multimodality pre-TAVI imaging screening may be helpful for precise procedural design. Despite the limited use of 3D models, it is necessary to adopt such tissue-mimicking phantoms to increase the possibility of optimal procedural result.

Abstract
Aortic stenosis is increasing in incidence and is now commonly managed with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in intermediate and high-risk patients. Radiologists are likely to encounter patients undergoing this procedure both pre- and postoperatively, and therefore, an understanding of procedural complications is essential. Complications may relate to the access site or approach, or the valve itself. This article will review the most common complications described in literature and focuses on the role of multidetector computed tomography (CT) in their evaluation either exclusively, or complementary to other imaging methods.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) led to the foundation of the subspecialty of structural heart interventions and created an emerging area of clinical and technical issues. Soon after TAVI introduction into clinical practice, boundaries were expanded with utilization of valve-in-valve (V-i-V) techniques. V-i-V comprised a diverse subset of patients including TAVI within TAVI, TAVI within a degenerated surgically implanted bioprosthesis, or even TAVI-in-TAVI-in-surgical bioprosthesis. In the present review, we summarize the available literature and present initial experience on the field in Greece.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid improvement of scanner and postprocessing technology as well as the introduction of minimally invasive procedures requiring preoperative imaging have led to the broad utilization of cardiac computed tomography (CT) beyond coronary CT angiography (CTA). METHOD This review article presents an overview of recent literature on cardiac CT. The goal is to summarize the current guidelines on performing cardiac CT and to list established as well as emerging techniques with a special focus on extracoronary applications. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Most recent guidelines for the appropriate use of cardiac CT include the evaluation of coronary artery disease, cardiac morphology, intra- and extracardiac structures, and functional and structural assessment of the myocardium under certain conditions. Besides coronary CTA, novel applications such as the calculation of a CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR), assessment of myocardial function and perfusion imaging, as well as pre-interventional planning in valvular heart disease or prior pulmonary vein ablation in atrial fibrillation are becoming increasingly important. Especially these extracoronary applications are of growing interest in the field of cardiac CT and are expected to be gradually implemented in the daily clinical routine. KEY POINTS · Coronary artery imaging remains the main indication for cardiac CT. · Novel computational fluid dynamics allow the calculation of a CT-derived fractional flow reserve in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. · Cardiac CT delivers information on left ventricular volume as well as myocardial function and perfusion. · CT is the cardinal element for pre-interventional planning in transcatheter valve implantation and pulmonary vein isolation.
